Mr and Mrs Warnett

When we talk about Hornington being a DIY venue, Bride and Groom Amy and Chris took this, and really rolled with it for their wedding back in August. Amy’s dad had been very hard at work for months and months before the wedding, lovingly cultivating gorgeous flowering plants, and timing it meticulously so they were all in beautiful bloom for the big day. The back wall in the wedding barn was lined with potted flowers and various gin bottles filled with hydrangeas.

Chris and Amy’s love of gin was incorporated into table plan, with each table being named after a different bottle of gin, with matching bottles at the centre of each table. The gin bottles and hand decorated mason jars filled with the most stunning, delicate flowers sat upon wooden boards crafted by Amy’s dad from her grandma’s shed when they dismantled it. Their cake was so unusual, but boy, was it delicious! It was a four-tiered glittery caramel rice crispy masterpiece and we could have eaten the whole thing!

Their guestbook, lovingly made by Chris, was a gorgeous wooden framed wire structure with names of each guest pegged to it. They had to replace their name tag with a polaroid photo taken on the day which was a lovely touch. Amy and Chris’ beloved dog Bramble had his photo and paw print on there too!

It was a beautiful August day and Amy was getting ready with her bridesmaids in the Manor while Chris and their guests took their seats for the ceremony in the courtyard. Amy looked absolutely stunning in her lace gown. And her bridesmaids sparkled in the sunshine. The ceremony was lovely and their brilliant photographer Mark Newton captured the whole thing beautifully. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous images!

During the speeches, Amy’s Dad welcomed guests who had travelled from all over the world to celebrate his daughter and new son-in-law’s special day. They had lit a candle for any loved ones who could not attend but were there in spirit. Chris kept his speech short but sweet, so as not to lose anyone’s attention! He should never forget his anniversary as it is now the same date as his Brother’s wedding- Nick and Lauren. Chris described his bride as loving, thoughtful, and most importantly, fit!

Chris and Amy are such a wonderful couple and we loved being part of their day. They were kind enough to drop us our very own mini rice crispy wedding cake (which didn’t last long, let me tell you) and some beautiful homemade shortbread as a thank you which was so lovely.

We cannot put into words how thankful we are for all of your hospitality, time and support that made our day so special. Jo, Hayley and the Hornington team, from the moment we met you to book the wedding, we felt like we were welcome here at all times and you have always felt part of our family because of your kind and friendly nature. We cannot thank you enough. EVERYTHING was incredible! From the moment we arrived on Friday, you guided us and made us feel relaxed, to leaving on Monday. We wish we could do it all again. All our love, Mr and Mrs Noonan.

We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us to make our wedding the perfect weekend. The whole venue is an amazing place, we couldn't have asked for anything more. From the minute we came to look around we knew this was our dream venue. We just wish we could get married again to re-live the full experience!

We have had the best weekend here at Hornington Manor. A gorgeous location and superb venue that made our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. A huge thank you to Jo, Hayley and all the Hornington team who were absolutely amazing on the day, looking after us and our guests from dusk till dawn! We hope to get to visit again in the future.

What a wonderful wedding weekend! Months of meticulous planning by Anna and Mark came together perfectly. The sun shone, the bubbles flowed and the love and laughter was very evident, and loud!
A perfect wedding venue- Beautiful house, magnificent views, cute sheep and lambs, even cuter alpacas, friendly and efficient staff. Thank you. Mother of the Bride, Jo Earl.
P.S. Already planning an anniversary event for next year!

What a fantastic venue. All of us have had an amazing time. Jo, Hayley and all the Hornington Team have been brilliant!!! From our arrival on Friday until Monday, all of our guests have had a really enjoyable time. Fantastic house, comfortable beds, and would not hesitate to recommend to other friends looking for a wedding venue. Thanks to all who helped make our son's and now daughter-in-law's day so special. Special memories to keep forever.

WOW!! What an amazing weekend we have both had! Absolutely unforgettable! WE have made so many memories that are going to last a lifetime! Thank you SO SO SO much, you’ve all been fab and made the whole weekend (from planning the weekend to the big day) so stress free and enjoyable. Hornington Manor is so beautiful, and we got sunshine- woo!! Everyone has been so full of compliments- especially about the mattresses! I can’t believe it’s all over, but we are definitely not going to forget it in a hurry! Love Mr and Mrs Brown

To Jo, Hayley and the rest of the Hornington Team, You have all been beyond unbelievable. On Saturday I didn't have to stress about anything. Everything just slotted into place- I'm still not sure how some of the things actually got sorted as there were things I forgot to mention to anybody! We had the most fantastic day and evening and our guests were taken aback by how amazing Hornington is - everyone kept asking me how I managed to find this place! It is a beautiful place but it would be nothing without the amazing team that runs it. You all made it so easy and I loved planning it from start to finish. It was so special to be able to extend our wedding day across the whole weekend and share it with all the people special to us. Lots of love, Becky and Jamie
